Formula 1, often abbreviated as F1, is the highest class of international single-seater auto racing, sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA).

These regulations cover aspects such as car design, performance specifications, and safety standards, ensuring a level playing field among competitors. F1 is known for its high speeds, cutting-edge engineering, and global fanfare, making it one of the most popular and prestigious motorsport events in the world. The season typically spans across multiple continents, and it has a rich history dating back to its inaugural championship in 1950.
